I would, except I haven't been able to boot off the cd unless no OS is installed. It boots to hdd no matter that I set cd first in boot order and put 'usb boot first' active either.
Had to frankenstein a drive on the floor next to it to reinstall it last time, guess I'll have to do that again. |

| Don't worry about it, I'm just just at the end of my wits with this, I gave up for a few days since I simply don't see any solution to this. I've tried all I could think of short of trying the card in another rig, but I don't want to screw up another rig I'll need to reinstall either. |

| I've tried both a corsair HX620 and once I knew it took about 220w peak on boot, I put it on the 350w antec phantom I wanted to use for the build. I've calculated the max amps on 5v and 12v and as far as I can tell either of these power supplys is more than enough. I don't think it's a power issue s... |

| I've seen those 'use 2 psu as one' deals before, even those 5 1/4 bay gpu psus. I've never trusted either because my electrical instincts tell me one way or another 1 of the 2 will at some point try to 'charge' the other and cause major damage. External enclosures are nice, when they work. None I've... |

If what is supposed to work doesn't then be in contact with those that can impact it, be it microsoft, nvidia, matrox ... |

Artmoney, like tsearch, cheat engine and countless others is a general memory search and edit tool, typically used to cheat but can be used to change fov in a game as well. I played with that a bit in UT3.
It's not technically made for NFS, that was simply the example game they used. |

| Any resolution at 57Hz is not remotely standard. Most lcds run at 60Hz, if they work a bit more or less than that, bonus, they're not expected to. That I've seen issues with resolutions not functionning have more to do with lcd that don't like any setting outside their native resolution and scan rat... |

Sorry, it's just my interpretation of the sli+multiple monitor support only on games such as flight sim. X, supreme commander, etc, only big name games, I made up the payed part.
I don't see why only some games should be able to use it, just like sli should work with just about any d3d/ogl game. |

| We'll see how the official support goes once the 180 are fully released. Unfortunately so far it seems to be a case of 'only the big name games that payed us for it will be multi-screen sli enabled' |

Not without 150CFM ear bleeding delta fans and major case conversion to add spots. I've found a possible option to use those weak sata 1-1.5tb drives but p... |
